"Don't even think about screaming and trying to make a scene because I'll expose you right here and now." The stranger whispered menacingly grabbing Bra's arm tightly and pulling her outside roughly.

            "Unhand me barbarian!" Bra ordered once they were away from everyone.

            "Temper temper princess." Bra's captor shook his finger at her.

             "Stop calling me that! I don't know what you're talking about!" Bra hissed trying to keep her cool.

            "Oh really?" The kidnapper smirked pulling off her hood revealing her unmistakable face and hair. No one outside the castle had ever seen Princess Bra, but they had seen Queen Bulma and knew the princess was practically a younger clone of the queen.

            The girl standing in front of him defiantly resembled the queen. Same color hair, same colored eyes, but there was something different about her. He didn't know what it was, but there was something fiery about this princess.

            "Ouff!" 17 gasped as Bra punched him in the gut knocking the wind out of him.

            "Feisty." 17 thought watching the princess try to get away while he was recovering.

            "You know princesses are suppose to be well mannered not violent." 17 said easily catching up to Bra and blocking her way.

            "I'm not the princess! Stop calling me that!" Bra fumed dodging to either side trying to get past the young man.

            "Don't try that innocent act with me. I'm not great 17, the number one bounty hunter in the land for nothing." 17 informed getting the princess to stop trying to get away.

"I mean even an amateur could see right through your disguise. What did you think by cutting your hair a little shorter you'd be able to fool everyone? You still look like the queens daughter and act like a royal." 17 laughed.

            "I can not believe my father has offered a reward on me! I'm not some common criminal he can set his army after!" Bra exclaimed in anger.

            "He didn't. He hired me and only me to find you because I'm the best in the business." 17 explained failing to make Bra feel any better.

            "Well the would explain why I haven't heard anyone talking about my disappearance. I mean the princess running away should be the biggest news ever." Bra went off forgetting she was talking to her paid captor.

            "Wait ew! I'm not going home!" Bra came to her sense and stood her ground.

"You don't have a choice." 17 smirked pulling out some rope and tying Bra's hands together.

"Hey! Stop that! I'm still you're princess!" Bra struggled.

"Wrong.  You're my mission's target and ticket to the rest of my reward." 17 corrected finishing tying her up.

"I order that you release me at once!" Bra stomped her foot in a fit.

"I'll be happy to release you." 17 faked a smile, causing Bra to calm down.

"Finally he's realized who he's dealing with." Bra thought he was going to let her go, but that didn't happen.

"Hey! Get you're filthy hands off me!" Bra screamed when 17 put his hands on her waist and lifted her up onto her horse.

            "I suggest you stop screaming or I'll be forced to gag you." 17 warned grabbing Bra's horse reins and leading it towards the forest.

            "You do and I'll have you tortured and hanged! Just wait until I tell my father of your mistreatment of me! He'll kill you himself!" Bra went off in a rage.

            "This is going to be a long trip." 17 thought bitterly as he began the long journey to take the princess home…..

Authors Note-  Looks like 17's found Bra, but completing his mission isn't going to be easy.
